"Let's be honest, whats the point of me as a local member consulting in my ward? Under the current system I don't make the decisions anyhow. I have no say in those decisions."

Incredibly 👆 is still true for most elected councillors in England.

"Definitely needs to be more accountability and openness we can't afford to let this happen anymore is becoming too expensive"

[Torla Evans #PalestineWillBeFree @EvansTorla]

#Lambethref2022 Sounds familiar @CamdenCouncil . Residents of @lambeth_council suffer a similar unco-operative undemocratic Cabinet system . Good luck with your quest for change and wish us luck , too !

[Kate Ashbrook @CampaignerKate]

Pleased to see that @lambeth_council gets @PrivateEyeNews Rotten Borough Award 2021 for this shameful treatment of Clapham Common @ClaphamCommon1 @Jeremy_Clyne @openspacessoc

[#LambethRef2022 @lambethref2022]

From the @se1 archive: Lambeth cabinet member fails to respond to meeting requests from ward Cllr's to discuss concerns over Garden Bridge.

That was 2016. The same 'leader/cabinet' system, enabling backbench cllr's to be ignored, remains in place today.

@BenRymer @angelafell We absolutely do Ben. Long, long overdue. @sarahlonglands @IPPRNorth @CLESthinkdo @ProfDonnaHall @adamjlent @PeoplesPowerhse @ItsOurCitySheff
The professionalised ‘sector’ must b careful 2 b part of the solution, not disconnection/unresponsiveness 2 citizen/community claims.

@BenRymer @lambethref2022 Change is happening all over the UK ... Bristol next! 🎉

[Karen Sainsbury 🧡BSc(Hons) MA @jellysainsbury]

Happy New News! Excellent democracy is coming to Camden too! 😀 over 30 councils in the UK have changed back to the more democratic Committee Council system where all councillors have a say/vote in all decisions. Petition for change! @lambethref2022

[Neighbours of West Kentish Town 🍃💚🍃 @OfKentish]

In Camden 10 councillors make all the decisions about what actions the Council takes. Worse, dedicated councillors who have been serving their constituents’ interests have been deselected by Camden Labour. The democratic process has broken down. Email: https://t.co/4Pm8rmyOsC

[#LambethRef2022 @lambethref2022]

A referendum is a chance for Lambeth voters to force the council to change the way it makes decisions.

@GrayTwg @HomesForLambeth Not so long ago @LambethLabour promised to build 1,000 council homes in half that time.

We need urgent and radical change in the town hall to meet solve the housing crisis. The current outdated, over-centralised system has demonstrably failed.
